Just bought a Corsa, is it belt cam or chain?
I have bought a 54 2004 Vauxahll Corsa 1.2 16v petrol at 54000 miles - full main delaer stamps up to 50,000 miles in March 2011 - is it a chain cam or belt and should I change the oil at 12 months since the last service?

Chain cam 16v. Good idea to change the oil right now if bought privately and if it had not just had a dealer service.
